    Default Mapei ultracolour

    Hi all, finishing off a house this morning and we were grouting an ensuite and bits of the bathroom,anyway last bits was the floor of the ensuite,We used ultracolour jasmine,lovely stuff as usual(i love it) but it took bloody ages to go off!! Usually 15 mins or so and its ready for the sponge but not today,grouted whole floor,waited 15-20 mins,no go.30 mins no go,took lunch then washed it,washed really well too !! that was about 45 mins later,might have been bad bag? not sure but looked ok finished.

    As I've said in another post Joe, I've only used it a couple of times due to local availibility (or lack of it) but wonderful fast setting stuff, great for us pro tilers, maybe not so great for amateur/diy'ers tho

    I love it, its a stunning grout when hard.Great properties too.I finished a porcelain bathroom this week and grouted walls and floor with ultracolour and looked fab.Even last week i done a porcelain bathroom too and grouted it in silver grey ultracolour,wow it was class.It was for a farming family so you can imagine the abuse it will get.
